5 Things not to do if you want to save money
Here is a list of a few things to avoid if you are trying to save up some money:
- Do not get a DUI. It will end up costing you thousands at the very best. It will also cost you your license, and even worse, could cost peoples’ lives.
- Drop Starbucks. Get a coffee machine and brew your own cup of joe. If you like the fancy drinks, buy an espresso machine and be your own barista.
- Don’t blow your wallet at the bars. You can easily rack up a few hundred in a night of drinking. By being a little thrifty, that same night can cost you under twenty bucks.
- Don’t leave the lights on. Turn your computer, lights, TV and everything off when you are not using them. You can really save a big by not wasting electricity.
- Don’t leave your wallet on empty. Always carry cash around in case you need to buy something at a place that either doesn’t accept cards or charges you extra for using your card. One example I have seen in recent times is gas stations. Seems like gas is a good 10% more expensive if you want to use your card. Having cash on hand can save you a few bucks at the pump.
